Christmas Book Bundle On Sale!

Posted on: by Sandra Orchard

Did you know there are only 40 days until Christmas? 

I have a fun gift suggestion for the mystery reader on your Christmas list. 🙂 

This morning, a friend asked me for the link to my mysteries with Annie’s. And I discovered that…

the Jingle Bell Mysteries 3-book bundle is on sale for less than ten bucks!

Unlike my contributions to other Annie’s Fiction series for which you need to subscribe to a 12- or 24-book series, the Christmas bundle is sold as a single purchase on their sister site, also home to craft products, magazines, and some partial bundles of other Annie’s Fiction series: Annie’s Catalog  

They have some great stuff on the site. I subscribed to their CrossStitch magazine for years. For my Canadian readers the price is in USD. Shipping to a US address is only $5.99. My friend had her bundle shipped to Canada and the shipping cost $15. (bringing the total price to the bundle’s regular price)

Still a great deal for 3 hardcover books that would make a lovely Christmas gift.

You can read more about my contribution to the series, Boughs of Folly, here: https://sandraorchard.com/books/1-jingle-bell-mysteries/

It’s set in Georgia, so not your typical Christmas holiday setting. 🙂

Settling Auld Scores by Sandra Orchard

Posted on: by Sandra Orchard

I’m pleased to announce that my next instalment in the Scottish Bakehouse Mysteries has shipped to subscribers from Annie’s Fiction. 

Aye, I’ve had a right braw (wonderful) time contributing to this series. Admittedly, at first I dinnae ken (didn’t know) if I’d feel at home in auld Loch Mallaig. But once I had a right old blether with the bonnie lads and lassies in town, I could hear the Scottish accent in every line. But don’t worry, only the odd Scottish word made it into the book. After all, I wouldn’t want my readers to think my heid’s full o’ mince. (every word that comes out of my mouth is non-sensical) 😀 

About Settling Auld Scores by Sandra Orchard

As Bread on Arrival’s head baker, Laura Donovan is used to scoring touchdowns in the kitchen, especially when she teams up with her best friends and business partners, Molly Ferris and Carol MacCallan. However, when it comes to parenting, unmarried Laura is a true rookie. While her brother and his wife are out of the country, Laura has agreed to host her teenage nephew, Henry, an up-and-coming football star now playing for the Loch Mallaig High Loons. Laura suddenly finds herself on defense as the safety of Henry and his teammates is tested by a persistent prankster, and Laura worries that her nephew is the main target.

From vindictive rival coaches and jilted former players to lovelorn teens intent on revenge, Laura’s roster of suspects seems endless. And as the pranks become more dangerous at every turn, Laura fears that a truly deadly incident could be next. She must take the offensive prankster out of the game before the clock runs out—or else someone could face sudden death.

Check out this New Romantic Suspense Book Club

Posted on: by Sandra Orchard

2021 marks the beginning of a new series from Annie’s Fiction

The series is called Sweet Intrigue and features standalone romantic suspense. I’m super-excited to be amongst the many authors writing for this 12-book club.  

When you subscribe to the club, you’ll receive one hardcover book every four weeks (or an Ebook if you prefer), starting with Betrayal of Trust by DeAnna Julie Dodson.

About Betrayal of Trust:

Grieving widow Julianne Montgomery is starting over in the Midwest town where she grew up. Still reeling from the recent death of her husband, nothing could’ve prepared her for the shock of seeing him show up at her door late one night, very much alive, injured, and insistent that she’s in danger.

Are you intrigued? 

My first contribution to the series is Dangerous at Heart . I don’t have the cover art or official book blurb to share with you yet, but those details will be coming soon. The book releases April 16th, 2021

About Dangerous at Heart by Sandra Orchard: 

After the police pin the fatal hit-and-run of their town’s beloved doctor on a dead man, witness Laura Brennan teams up with the doc’s nephew, Garrett Simons, to find the real killer. But when Laura asks her cousin, an aide to the state senator, to use her political pull to help them, her cousin disappears. What they discover in their search for her cousin, and for the truth, is a web of lies, corruption and coverups, surrounding the state’s largest manufacturer and perhaps the senator herself. But can they ferret out the facts and figure out who can be trusted to bring the perpetrators to justice, before they’re silenced too.

If stay-at-home orders have you down,

this might be just the series you need to get your blood pumping. Best of all, it will be delivered right to your mailbox, or inbox. 🙂 You can also cancel at anytime.
